again vent their anger against cuts despite the government's efforts now the country does continue to slide into recession and in just a few minutes we hope to cost to our correspondent jacob grieves for more on his view of what's going on. it's the sound. countries supporting the syrian rebels need to stop sidestepping the un and demand both sides of the conflict lay down their arms well that's the message from russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov said that some foreign forces are in fact urging al qaeda linked militants in syria to fire on airs artie's marine important from new york. russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov talks about a variety of issues but clearly syria dominated his speech foreign minister lavrov says he believes and russia believes there is still an opportunity to and the conflict in crisis in syria but it will require some fierce international consensus

he says the international community must come together to demand a cease fire in syria by both the government and the opposition to demand the release of prisoners and hostages and allow for humanitarian assistance russia's foreign minister said that he believes that one of the very big problems is that all members that signed the geneva communique are not fulfilling their responsibilities and obligations he said is very important for the six point peace plan that kofi annan outlined many months ago for that peace plan to be the foundation of which there could eventually be. resolved to the crisis that's escalating in syria but he said what is most troubling for russia is that many western countries that are supporting the opposition are only demanding for the syrian government to cease fire but are looking the other way when the syrian opposition is waging very deadly attacks those who oppose the implementation of the

geneva communiqué so they could put themselves an enormous responsibility if. only by the government and encourage the opposition to intensify. syria even deeper into the blood stream extremist organizations and. have become even syrian. against innocent civilians and civilian infrastructure. foreign minister lavrov said another serious concern is the use of unilateral sanctions particularly by western countries he believes that these unilateral sanctions taken outside of the united nations for example in syria you. u.s. and european countries imposing reduces the credibility first and foremost of the security council and also can escalate humanitarian crisis for the foreign minister lavrov said that at this point it is a very important time he believes for international relations to come together and

the credibility to not be compromised even further by their by their being many divisions within the u.n. security council on a variety of issues. inside syria rubble and government forces have launched fresh offensives in the crucial battle for the second set of aleppo in what's being called in and precedented assault thousands have a part of the past twenty four hours with heavy weapons allegedly on both sides this comes as the u.s. sends more support worth forty five million dollars to the syrian opposition political analyst jacob porn berger says washington is determined to replace assault with a proxy at any cost. well it's a standard policy of the us government it is it is designed to oust rulers of regimes that are independent of what might be called the us military empire and replace them with pro-u.s.

rulers so we have the dichotomy of supporting dictators in country their loyal to the us government and trying to oust dictators that are not loyal to the us going to the us is committed to the ouster of the assad regime and whenever you hear of the united nations it just designed for the american taxpayer the american voter create the appearance that the u.s. is interested in spreading democracy and freedom when in fact it has a long history of supporting dictatorial regimes in saudi arabia even iran under the shah of iran syria itself don't forget that the cia used the assad regime to torture some of its rendition torture victims and so the the whatever goes on in the un is really ridiculous and senseless. in bahrain officials say police killed one person in self-defense when their patrol was attacked near the capital manama but opposition activists claim the seventeen year old victim was

with me karyn taraji we head back to our top story now crowds are gathering in central madrid where people are once again protesting against tough spending cuts the country faces its fifth all staring budget in a row but despite the government's efforts it continues to slide deeper enter recession as promised we can get more on this now from artie's jacob reads in madrid jacob i know it's really tough to hear me tell us what is happening on the streets right now can we expect these protests to turn violent as they did earlier in the week. well we've had some more people probably turning out as an earlier period in the past two protests they've lined the streets in the thousands blocking traffic now so far there hasn't been too much disruption to industry street protesters and police like we saw on tuesday and wednesday of this week but nonetheless the crown has been very vocal indeed and when you have this many people not in such a toy place is always the opportunity for foreigners to flare up at

a very short notice comes close to demonstrations so we saw them in the very violently indeed on choose they police charged protesters now they fired rubber bullets into the crowd they also charging down with classes that injured about sixty people in total thirty people being detained there we saw a similar sonora presented a wednesday as well this could be one the problems that facing the police at the moment is that there's always going to be a hardcore few hundred out of this thousand willing to stay here with and just there to messages until the very end and they're the ones that trouble arises when they're trying to clear them out now much he joined by pows and now jose is a member of the trying to fix a ten movement would be quite pivotal because organizing this so what you want from these demonstrations. well out say that we want to let them know let everyone know that these two a shiny some variable and that we are that we were fed up with so many lies and

that we know that inside that building there is no sobering to be at all and that the the that those who rule us is not those that we vote for right now i want to comes to the recent budget just in now song first i was still forty billion euros again cut you feel life is not being listened to now i mean he's just one step more in the same direction i mean he said it's mean is being i mean many years that based they've taken those steps against people just to just to when they were working for the companies and those steps are taken against them i mean saas which are they people and then and for the companies are not even companies that you can say that there is spanish or anything or european or anything it's just that it takes an ethereal government that we have so that's why we say in here this stuff stop this nightmare against people and start ruling for us not for the companies and those who have been quite critical of this way rice said that perhaps the idea is a bit too lofty when it comes to the dissolution of parliament jury think you can achieve those guys i mean i mean i don't care i just want to make the statement that these

can not continue like this i mean that they're not ruling they're just obeying orders from europe orders from the from the financial markets so i don't i don't really i'm not really working too or so i go over many of my with myself or my or my partners is just trying to give the people that did the idea the possibility to feed the whole world where governments govern for people and not for companies thank you very much oh this so comes on the back of a very austere budget and you see forty billion euros in terms of cost now this is mainly target ministries also extended to freeze when it comes to public sector pay for the for the year running on the profit problems facing prime minister a whole he and his government at present is that no matter how many cuts they make the boring costs in spain are significantly rising now two thousand and thirteen especially go. knowing billion euros to thirty six billion euros that's going to wash away any savings they make through this very popular austerity course we'll be
